Konami Corporation 10 May 2001 PART 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 1. Scope of Consolidation (1) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KONAMI CORPORATION (the 'Company') and its 31 consolidated subsidiaries. See '1. Organization Structure of Konami Group',which shows major subsidiaries. The number of consolidated subsidiaries increased with the establishment of the new companies Konami Marketing, Inc. and Konami Software Shanghai, Inc., and PEOPLE CO., LTD., which was acquired through a tender offer accompanied by its consolidated subsidiary The Club At Yebisu Garden Co., Ltd. Naps Corporation, which was a consolidated subsidiary of PEOPLE CO., LTD. at the acquisition, is also included as wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The number of consolidated subsidiaries decreased as follows: Konami Computer Entertainment Sapporo, Inc. was merged into Konami Computer Entertainment Yokohama, Inc. (currently named Konami Computer Entertainment Studios, Inc.). Former Konami Capital, Inc. was merged into Konami Kosan, Inc. (currently named Konami Capital, Inc.) Konami Amusement of America, Inc. was merged into Konami of America, Inc. Konami Nissho-Bowl Entertainment Co., Ltd. was merged into Konami Amusement Operation, Inc. In addition, Konami do Brasil Ltda. was liquidated as part of the restructuring of overseas operations, and excluded from the consolidation scope. (2) Four subsidiaries are excluded from the scope of consolidation since each of their net assets, net sales, net income, and retained earnings are immaterial, and have no significant effect as a whole on the consolidated financial statements. 2. Application of Equity Method (1) Two affiliated companies, Mobile 21 Co., Ltd. and TAKARA Co., Ltd., are accounted for by the equity method. (2) The equity method is not applied to unconsolidated subsidiaries as they have no significant effect on the consolidated net income and retained earnings, and are immaterial as a whole. 3. Fiscal Year-end of Consolidated Subsidiaries PEOPLE CO., LTD. and The Club At Yebisu Garden Co., Ltd. use a fiscal year-end at February 28, which is different from that of the Company. Accordingly, the Company used their pro forma financial statements as of March 31, 2001 for the consolidated financial statements. 4. Accounting Standards a. Valuation of Assets (1) Marketable and Investment Securities Other investment securities for which the market value is not readily determinable are stated at cost based on the moving average method. Other investment securities for which the market value is readily determinable are stated at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Unrealized holding gain or loss is reported as a separate component of shareholders’equity. The cost of securities sold is determined primarily by the moving average method. (2) Derivatives Foreign exchange forward contracts are stated at fair value. (3) Inventories Inventories other than merchandise and work in process are stated at cost determined by the moving average method. Merchandise is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined mainly by the first-in, first-out method. Work in process consisting of hardware products is stated at cost determined by the moving average method while work in process consisting of software products is stated at cost determined by the specific identification method. b. Depreciation Methods Tangible fixed assets are depreciated mainly using the declining balance method while intangible fixed assets are amortized mainly using the straight-line method. For in-house software, amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of 5 years. c. Provisions (1) Allowance for bad debts Generally, the allowance for bad debts is calculated based on the actual ratio of bad debt losses incurred. For specific accounts with higher possibility of bad debt loss, the allowance is determined by independent judgment. (2) Allowance for bonuses As part of estimated bonus payment to employees in the following period, appropriate amount is provided. (3) Allowance for retirement benefits (Prepaid pension expense) Allowance for retirement benefits paid to employees is calculated based on the estimated amount of the projected benefit obligation and the plan assets at the year-end. Generally, unrecognized net transition asset is amortized over 13 years. Unrecognized actuarial net gain or loss will be amortized from the following fiscal year within the average remaining service period of 13 years on a straight-line basis. (4) Liability for directors' retirement benefits Required amount for the year was reserved as liability under retirement benefits paid to directors. d. Foreign Currency Translation Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the current exchange rates at each balance sheet date, and the translation gains and losses are credited or charged to income. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into yen at the current exchange rate at each balance sheet date while revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Differences arising from such translation are included as translation adjustments in minority interest and shareholders'equity. e. Leases Finance leases other than those that deem to transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee are accounted for as operating lease transactions. f. Deferred Assets Stock issue expenses are charged to income as incurred. The issuance of new shares by the public offering on March 22, 2001 was based on the method (the 'new method') an underwriter purchases shares at an issue price and sells them at an offer price, which is different from the issue price, to public inventors. In the new method, the difference between the issue price and the offer price is the proceeds for underwriter, which is practically underwriting commission. Therefore, the Company did not pay any underwriting commission to the underwriter. The total amount of the difference between the issue price and the offer price for the public offering on March 22, 2001 was Y2,505 million, which should be accounted for as stock issue expenses if the underwriter sold the shares at an offer price which was the same as the issue price (the 'former method'). For the year ended March 31, 2001, with the new method, stock issue expenses are recognized Y2,505 million less and ordinary income and net income before income taxes are recognized Y2,505 more compared with the former method. g. Consumption Tax Consumption tax is excluded from the stated amount of revenue and expenses. 5. Valuation of Subsidiaries’Assets and Liabilities All of assets and liabilities of consolidated subsidiaries are valued at their fair value. 6. Amortization of Goodwill The difference between the cost and underlying fair value of the net equity of investments in subsidiaries at acquisition is amortized on a straight- line basis over the estimated period or 5 years. Such difference is charged to income as incurred if the amount is considered immaterial. 7. Appropriation of Retained Earnings The consolidated statements of retained earnings are prepared based on the appropriation as proposed for each fiscal year. 8. Cash and Cash Equivalents The cash and cash equivalents stated in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consist of cash on hand, all time deposits, and short-term investments, which have original maturities of three months or less and can be withdrawn on demand with no diminution of principal.
